I played a game yesterday. All the players of the Chinese team slept beautifully this morning. They didn’t have to book an alarm clock and got up to start the day of training in the gym, nor did they have to queue up to go to the gym for physical examinations.

This relaxed and leisurely atmosphere made many people realize that the final training camp before the World Cup was over.

Next, twenty-three should be selected from the thirty people, and then go to Atlanta, the United States together to do the final training camp there to prepare for the first game of the World Cup group stage.

In other words, seven of the thirty-person training list will bid farewell to the national team today, pack their luggage and go home, and then watch their teammates step on the World Cup stage through the TV in the living room at home.

At around 11:00 a.m., all the players of the national training team received an announcement from the group on their mobile phones:

"@Everyone, after lunch, go to the conference room to meet before two o'clock."

This short announcement did not say what the collection was for, but everyone knew the answer.

When everyone looks down and sees this message on their phone, the leisurely and comfortable time is swept away.

People who usually laugh and joke when they meet again in the restaurant, they just nodded and greeted each other with serious expressions, and they were in no mood to chat with each other.

Even if those players who should be selected for the final 23-man roster should not be able to act like they are fine in such an environment.

There are also people who are worried about the fate of their friends, so they are naturally not in the mood to laugh.

Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi are now worried about whether Xia Xiaoyu can stay in the national team.

On the contrary, Xia Xiaoyu comforted them: "To be honest, if I can come to the training camp with everyone, I think I will make a profit. I will cheer you up when the time comes!"

Zhou Zijing's lament came from behind: "If you are not selected, Xiaoyu, are you really not sorry?"

"Repentance is definitely regret, but I am mentally prepared and don't think it's a big deal." Xia Xiaoyu and the others turned around and looked at Zhou Zijing who was walking from behind.

Everyone was on the way to the conference room.

The distance is not far. Go down from the dormitory building, go straight 50 meters and then turn left 30 meters, and enter a building, and you will be the conference room.

But everyone walked very slowly during this period, as if this would make the hammer of the verdict fall a little later, as if there would be any result that could be changed.

Hearing Xia Xiaoyu say this, Zhou Zijing shook his head: "You are so free and easy!"

Xia Xiaoyu defended himself: "I am not free and easy, Zhou Zijing. I just made the worst plan. In this way, no matter what the result is, as long as it is not the worst, doesn't it mean it is a good result?"

Zhou Zijing curled his lips: "I don't, I just want to go to the World Cup, I just want to be included in the final list... Forget it, I'll know if there is a show in a while!" He finally sighed, lowered his head and followed the meeting room next to him.

The group walked into the conference room and found that no matter how hard it was, there were already many people inside.

Everyone finds their own seats to sit down.

No longer whispering, I was so rare that I could calm down before this meeting.

In the past, the coach had to announce the meeting so that the conference room could remain quiet.

In this strange silence, tension spreads in everyone's hearts.

Until head coach Shi Wuyin walked in with the coaching team and national team leader Hong Renjie.

They instantly attracted the attention of all the national team players.

Then everyone's eyes were firmly locked on the white paper in Shi Wuyin's hand.

Just like the training list was announced at the beginning, but this time you changed to on-site witnesses instead of through TV.

Shi Wuyin noticed everyone's longing and nervous eyes, and knew how heavy the list of twenty-three names in his hand was.

After all, it was the first time in Chinese football history...

Maybe the Chinese team will enter the World Cup in the future, but it will not be as meaningful as this first time.

Everyone present, no matter how likely they are, wants to engrave their names in the history of Chinese football forever.

Shi Wuyin did not chant his name directly when he went on stage like he had announced the training list on live TV before.

Instead, I raise my wrist to see the time.

"There are five minutes left to two o'clock, which is almost the same." He nodded and put down his hand.

Then he finally opened the list that he had folded twice.

But he still didn't read it, but looked at the players and said, "What I want to announce next is the names of the twenty-three people who are qualified to participate in the World Cup... Before reading this list, I want to say a few simple words to everyone. I am very grateful for your efforts in the training session during this period. Each of you, whether you go to the World Cup in the end or not, has contributed to the Chinese team's World Cup... I don't know what the outside world will think, but as the head coach of the Chinese team, I will remember your contributions. As I said many times in training, we are a whole. A whole means thirty people, not the last twenty-three people."

The players watched the head coach speak quietly, and I don’t know how many people really listened to Shi Wuyin’s words at this time.

"Now, I announce that the following twenty-three people will be selected for the final list of the Chinese team in this World Cup."

When Shi Wuyin said this, the already quiet conference room suddenly became quieter, as if he had no normal breathing sounds.

He looked up at the players in surprise, and found that everyone stared at him with wide eyes, and then lowered his head and thought:

“Haod.”

Hao De, who had been holding his back, collapsed when he heard his name.

This is the first time this veteran goalkeeper has been so nervous in his career that he finally entered the World Cup. He doesn't want to fall to the last night before liberation.

The other goalkeepers looked at Hao De with a complicated look. There were only three goalkeepers on the 23rd World Cup list, and Hao De had already occupied one, and they had to compete for two places... No, it was actually one. If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Zhiyuan should also have one place. So if everyone wants to compete for one place, then don’t they have to break the head?

“Lin Zhiyuan.”

Lin Zhiyuan, who was pronounced by the name, couldn't help but punch excitedly. Fortunately, he held back the "thing" sound, otherwise he might have become the target of public criticism.

Shi Wuyin heard the movement of Lin Zhiyuan's fist, and also heard the changes in the conference room after he recited a name.

But he ignored it and did not raise his head. He just lowered his head and read the names one by one according to the list.

As he pronounced those names, some people breathed a sigh of relief, some people waved their fists like Lin Zhiyuan, but more people continued to stare at Shi Guidance silently and nervously, feeling complicated.

Some people who are destined to be out of the show are relieved, and they are looking at the head coach to continue reading the list with a relaxed mood.

Although Zhang Qinghuan was not surprised when she heard Guidance pronounce her name, she still felt that the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

He leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the conference room window.

It was as if someone was watching him from heaven there.

“Xia Xiaoyu.”

Zhang Qinghuan suddenly withdrew his gaze from the blue sky, first looking at Shi Guidance, then Xia Xiaoyu.

The latter looked dumbfounded.

"Okay, Xiaoyu!" Hu Lai slapped Xia Xiaoyu hard on the back, but the other party didn't move, like a statue.

"Wow!" The biggest response so far came to the conference room.

When Shi Wuyin heard this, she continued to recite without raising her head.

Zhou Zijing lay on his table amid the noise, staring at Xia Xiaoyu.

His teammate of the National Olympic Team is now sure to play in the World Cup!

Zhou Zijing couldn't help but feel envious and jealousy in his heart. It was like eating a kilo of lime lemon, so sour that the walls were about to separate...

“Zhou Zijing.”

"Come!" Zhou Zi, who heard his name, stood up from his seat reflexively and shouted.

This time Shi Wuyin finally couldn't help it and raised her head to look at him.

In full view of everyone, Zhou Zijing realized that this was not a name in class, but...

I can also participate in the World Cup!!

He quickly sat down and continued to lie on the table, trembling all over with excitement.

He simply sobbed while shaking.

Lin Zhiyuan heard the movements over him, turned his head to look, curled his lips and whispered: "Outstanding!"

The others were also extremely complicated when they looked at Zhou Zijing who was crying with joy because they were selected for the list of twenty-three people.

Some people envy him, some are jealous, and some are throwing a gratifying smile at him.

With Zhou Zijing's crying and losing voice as a symbol, the list of twenty-three people on the first World Cup journey in the history of the Chinese men's football team has been released.

These twenty-three people were written into history like this.

Later people must not know what happened in the national team when the list was announced. They could only guess what joys, anger, sorrow and joys are behind this list.
